But Emmy, with her snow-dyed pranks and infectious laughter, spins through my life like a kaleidoscope. I'm the CEO who alphabetizes his cereal boxes. Emmy? She's the chaos to my order, the spontaneous to my planned-out life.
Just when I think I can handle her vibrancy, everything changes. She pulls me onto an adventure that's both maddening and exhilarating. On the treacherous slopes of Moose’s Tooth, Mother Nature pits herself against us. The higher we go, the more I learn that sometimes, letting go is the only way to hold on to what truly matters.
In the face of real danger, I realize Emmy isn't just another chapter in my life. She might be the whole story. Problem is, I'm not sure if I'm ready to rewrite my methodically planned life. But one thing's clear–I'm wild about Emmy. Now, I just need to convince her, and maybe myself, that our story is worth taking the leap.
Wild about Emmy is a story of laughter, love, and learning to embrace life's messy, beautiful moments. It's about finding joy in the unexpected and discovering that sometimes, the best things in life can't be color-coded.
**Wild about Emmy was previously published in the Stay With Me collection under the title Ascending Hope.
